On balance, and by the composite measure, Hammond, Wisconsin (ZIP 54015) ranks in the top 20% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,253rd) and the top 20% of Wisconsin (153rd).
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: modeled high cholesterol resides in the bottom 4.2% nationally, and arsenic lands in the bottom 8.1% nationally. Modeled diabetes registers in the bottom 7.6% nationally, and stroke sits in the bottom 8.3% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff rests in the bottom 12.2% nationally, coronary heart disease is in the bottom 10.9% nationally, and mobility disability stands in the bottom 10.9% nationally. Against that, modeled binge drinking settles in the top 1.6% nationally, modeled fine-particle lies in the top 11.7% nationally, and distance to a community health center resides in the top 12.8% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 54002, just across the boundary.

How these were chosen: only ZIPs with a published Score appear — a nearby ZIP with too little data to score won’t. Nearby means closest by distance between ZIP boundaries, which can cross state lines. A similar health profile is a close match across the nine Score domains, not similar demographics. Distances are measured between ZIP boundaries — ZIPs that touch share a border. How distance is measured

About the ± — it’s this estimate’s give-or-take (statisticians call it the standard error). The true life expectancy for this ZIP most likely falls within 1.01 years of 79.8, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

How these lists were built: they draw only from ZIPs that have a published Score, so ZIPs with too little data to score are not listed. Distance-based lists use distance between ZIP boundaries with no state filter, so an out-of-state ZIP can appear. Statistically similar means a close match across the nine Score domains, not a demographic match: the measure is the cosine similarity between two ZIPs’ domain scores, taken over the domains both ZIPs have data for and only where that overlap covers at least six of the nine — and where no ZIP clears that minimum-overlap floor, that list is left out rather than filled with a weak match.
